The Bottom Line:
Should be seriously considered for special applications where an undercounter TV and AM/FM radio and speakerphone are required.
This is NOT what I would classify as a "portable" television, as it does not have its own power source. The manufacturer calls it a "low profile" television, designed for undercabinet or desktop installation, and it fits either of those functions extremely well.
My requirement was for undercabinet installation. I needed a compact LCD TV with AM/FM radio to fit unobtrusively under a 12" overhanging cabinet. My choices were Sony and Audiovox. Now, Sony makes some good products, but they're pricey. But Audiovox offers a much more expansive list of products at a wide variety of prices.
I'd always thought of Audiovox as a maker of aftermarket car stereos, and was surprised to see the number of products for my specialized application. They have models from 6" to 10" and with a whole range of features from DVD player to MP3 player to speakerphone. They also offer cooking timers, weatherband, and CD, CD-R, CD-RW encoded CD playback. In short, many more features than I would ever want in an undercounter kitchen application.
I wasn't looking for a mini-home theater under my spice rack. But I did want to get local news and traffic while making breakfast. And by the way, it would also be handy if I could answer the phone hands-free while scrambling huevos.
And I didn't want it to cost more than the most expensive gadget in my kitchen. It just wouldn't be right.
The VE700 fits the bill. It has a 7" screen that flips up when not in use or swivels to any angle. I don't watch TV in the kitchen, but when I do want to see the image (usually morning news/weather/traffic), it does the job quite well.
An added bonus is the speakerphone. I installed the unit next to the telephone, where it shares the jack. If the phone rings, I don't need to stop what I'm doing, just press the TEL button and answer. I'm surprised at how handy this feature has become.
I wish I had a cable outlet near where I installed the unit, because I can only receive a small number of broadcast TV channels via the supplied air antenna (which I have concealed inside the cabinet). The same goes for FM stations. I'm glad I live in a city, or I would have to rely upon a more elaborate antenna arrangement.
There are three preset buttons on the unit, allowing you to preset three TV channels, plus three FM stations, plus three AM stations. I use these constantly, and wish there were more, though I would need a better antenna to to tune many more usable stations.
The VE700 comes with a cheap, credit-card sized remote control. I keep it in a drawer and have never used it. I don't have an easy chair in my kitchen.
